NEW YEAR’S SAN FRANCISCO 2013 - Go to the Ferry Building at the foot of Market Street (Pier 14) along the Embarcadero. The fireworks show starts at midnight and this is a free public event. Be prepared to wear a jacket and on your feet a long time, because there’s nowhere to sit, you'll be standing a long time. I usually go onto my roof for ten minutes starting at midnight. Because I can see the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Oakland Hills and the sky above the Ferry Building. But, the hill blocks the view of the Embarcadero itself. Check out the video clip which shows the 2012 fireworks display along the waterfront!

THE GIFT OF THE MAGI SHORT STORY REVIEW
THE GIFT OF THE MAGI SHORT STORY REVIEW - His
most famous story was published in 1906. This is a holiday story about what
happens to a modest couple on Christmas Eve. O Henry employs several literary
techniques including situational irony and the number three, an allusion to the
magi. The title is a reference to wise men offering gold, frankincense and
myrrh to Christ. He was prolific and considered to be amongst the top classic American
writers. Yet, he wasn’t able to produce works of long form fiction (novels), other
than collections of short works, such as The Four Million. The style of The
Gift of the Magi is out of fashion, but I really appreciate the simplicity and
a great twist ending. Since Christmas is a time of traditions spend a bit of
time with a classic. Happy Holidays!
